To the Class : 

On account of many discouraging circumstances the publica¬ 
tion of this record has just been accomplished. In the fall of 
1901 an urgent request for full information on topics of interest 
to the Class was made by the Secretary, but so meager were the 
returns that it seemed useless to print them. 

Also, it is not generally known that there was no money left 
from the sexennial reunion for the expenses of the Secretary. 
Although five dollars was subscribed for this purpose by most 
of those who came back, yet the expense of the dinner and other 
events was so great that only a few dollars remained, and this 
small amount was turned over to the Decennial Committee for 
the Bicentennial celebration. 

However, the book is presented with all its deficiencies; and 
in the hope that the Class will realize that each man is responsible 
for the amount of information published about him and whether 
it be satisfactorily complete or not. 

The Secretary takes this opportunity of thanking Roger 
Tuttle, Walter Allen and George Kellogg, for their assistance in 
obtaining some of the information contained herein, and in 
expressing his gratitude to Laurie Lee and Lanier McKee for 
their contributions. 

Benjamin I. Spock, 

Secretary. 








NINETY-FIVE SEXENNIAL REUNION. 


New York, April 12, 1901. 

Dear Classmate: 

The Sexennial Committee having completed the preliminary 
arrangements for the approaching reunion, now ask you to 
inform them, definitely, if possible, whether or not you can be 
present on that auspicious occasion. It is unnecessary for the 
committee to urge you to attend, as we feel sure that the loyalty 
and enthusiasm which the Class has always shown for Yale 
and ’95 will insure a goodly attendance and make the reunion 
a memorable one. 

As we are unable to make final arrangements before hearing 
from every member of the Class, we call attention to the great 
assistance you can render your committee by making a special 
effort to reply to this notice without delay. 

The Sexennial dinner will be given on Tuesday evening, 
June 25th, 1901. The Class will assemble on the Campus for 
registration and for a business meeting on Tuesday morning, 
and will go to the Yale-Harvard baseball game in special cars 
in the afternoon, returning to the dinner in the evening. The 
dinner will be held in the lower Warner Hall. Hatch’s Military 
Band of Hartford will be with the Class from noon until 
midnight. 

The committee ask every member of the Class to subscribe 
$5.00 to cover the general expenses of the Class meeting and 
those of the Class Secretary. For those who attend the sex¬ 
ennial dinner an additional charge of $5.00 will be made, which 
will include wine. 

The Yale-Harvard boat race will probably be rowed on 
Thursday, June 27th, the date not yet being definitely decided. 
Should a sufficient number of men wish to go to the race, 
arrangements could no doubt be made to secure a special car to 
New London and a block of seats together on the Observation 
train. 

Your committee find it impossible to hold the Sexennial meet¬ 
ing in the Fall, during the Bicentennial celebration. The time 
of those attending this celebration will be so fully taken up by it, 


8

that there will be no time left for class meetings. It will not be 
possible to obtain comfortable lodgings, and, the Bicentennial 
being the center of attraction, would spoil class reunions. 
Furthermore the Faculty desire that all class reunions this year 
be held as usual during Commencement week. 

All remittances should be sent to

(Second notice.) 

June 3d, 1901. 

The Sexennial Committee regret to announce that they have 
received replies to their circular of April 12th from only sixty- 
nine men. You are again earnestly requested to facilitate the

ing check and returning same at once to George T. Adee, 45 
Pine street, N. Y. City. 

The Sexennial exercises, which will take place on Tuesday, 
June 25th, will be as follows: 

10.30 a. m. Business meeting of the Class of ’95 in Ai 
Osborn Hall. A uniform, consisting of a coat and hat, will be 
furnished by the committee and will be given out at this meet¬ 
ing, together with dinner tickets, tickets for the Yale-Harvard 
ball game and tickets for the Yale-Harvard boat race. Directly 
after the meeting a photograph of the Class in costume will be 
taken. Every man is requested to wear white trousers through¬ 
out the day. 

1.30 p. m. The Class will assemble at Osborn Hall and go 
to the Yale-Harvard baseball game at the Field, in special cars,

The committee asks every member of the Class to subscribe 
$5.00 to cover the general expense of the Class meeting and 
those of the Class Secretary. An additional charge of $5.00, 
which will include wine, will be made for those attending the 
Sexennial dinner. No accommodation will be provided at the 
dinner and no uniform will be reserved for any one who does 
not return the enclosed blank properly filled in and remit before 
June 15th. 

Rooms may be secured in Divinity Hall on application to the 
janitor, Mr. E. F. Hill, 212 Yale Station, New Haven, Connecti¬ 
cut, price $1.00 per man per night; six nights $5.00. No room 
can be engaged, however, for a shorter time than two nights. 

The headquarters of the Class, where every man is requested 
to report and register upon his arrival in New Haven, will be the 
old billiard room in the University Club, the privileges of which 
have kindly been extended to every member of the Class during 
Commencement week. The Yale-Harvard boat races will be 
rowed at New London, on Thursday, June 27th. A number of 
seats will be reserved for the Class, and, if enough apply, a 
special car can be had. Any one wishing to go must fill out 
the enclosed blank in full and return it with $2.50 for each seat 
desired (no man can apply for more than four) to George T. 
Adee, before June 15th. The tickets will be given out at the 
business meeting. 

The committee has challenged the Class of ’98 to a game of 
baseball, to be played at the Yale Field, Wednesday morning, 
June 26th, at eleven o’clock. We have no doubt but that the 
challenge will be accepted. 

The success of the Sexennial reunion depends on your making 
every effort to come yourself and persuade the men around you 
to come.

Committee. 


THE SEXENNIAL BUSINESS MEETING. 


The Sexennial business meeting of the Class of 1895 was held 
in Ai Osborn Hall at 10.50 a. m. on Tuesday, June 25th, 1901. 

The meeting was called to order by George T. Adee, the 
Chairman of the Sexennial Committee. 

The minutes of the business meeting of the Triennial meet¬ 
ing were read and approved. 

The first business was the election of a Decennial Committee. 
The names of Henry Farnam, Thomas M. Debevoise, Allen 
Wardwell, Thomas B. Lockwood and F. L. Lee were put in 
nomination. Mr. F. L. Lee withdrew his name. It was then 
voted that the nominations be closed. It was then voted that 
the Decennial Committee be composed of four members. It 
was then voted that the Secretary cast his ballot in favor of the 
four remaining names, and the Committee was elected, consist¬ 
ing of Henry Farnam, Thomas M. Debevoise, Allen Wardwell 
and Thomas B. Lockwood. 

Mr. Adee then announced the events of the reunion and dis¬ 
tributed the tickets for the boat race. 

It was voted that the Decennial Committee be instructed and 
empowered to arrange some meeting or action on the part of 
the Class for the Bicentennial in October of 1901. 

It was then voted that a resolution be suggested on the records 
of the Class, expressing the sympathy of the Class on account 
of the sad death of Adelbert S. Hay, of 1898. 

There being no further business, the meeting adjourned at 
11.05. 


THE SEXENNIAL REUNION. 


Two hundred years of earnest work were needed to bring 
Yale University to the great event which took place in June, 
1901—the Sexennial reunion of the Class of 1895. 

The Faculty, not wishing to have too concentrated a season 
of joy, postponed the Bicentennial celebration. 

Kissing their wives good-bye with ill-concealed delight, or in 
some cases accompanied by the light of their lives, our married 
brethren set forth for New Haven to join the yet unroped in a 
gambol on the Green, in some cases a roll on the grass, amid 
the scenes once dignified to them by scholarly leisure. 

Sexennial may be said to have started with the gathering of 
the Class on Monday, June 24, 1901. The register at the 
headquarters in the University Club became black with names, 
and singly, or in bunches, ’95 sallied forth down Chapel street 
in a perfect whirl of greeting, until of each it might be said, 
‘‘The more the wonder grew that one small head could carry all 
he knew”—or seemed to know. 

Here we suppose it would be regular to say how impressed 
we were with the changes on the Campus, how Newcome Hall 
replaced the stately elm, etc. The student of statistics is referred 
to the Banner , be ours to picture a band of scholars commemo¬ 
rating in unison their years of studious effort. 

General foregathering was the order of the day, and so it 
ended. 

Tuesday morning broke bright and clear, dispersing the gloom 
of that “cold grey dawn” of which the poet sings. Procuring 
a marked-down naval reserve uniform with a blue ’95 applique, 
we started in to seriously reunite, which was officially accom¬ 
plished at Ai Osborn Hall, where a wind-swept business meet¬ 
ing was held. After a hurried and frugal lunch, the Class pro¬ 
ceeded to the Field, marching in trolley cars. Detraining at the 
bridge, we marched into the grounds with band playing and 
colors flying, where we formed a juncture with the uniformed 
marching clubs of various other classes. 

After seventeen miles of fancy evolutions had been executed, 
to the delight of the fair ones and the evident boredom of our 


12 


SEXENNIAL REUNION. 


Harvard visitors, we retired in good order to our several stations 
and the bands played all at once and each a different tune. 

An old-time victory for Yale was not scored on the diamond, 
and after the game we started for town. The procession 
formed, but where was ’95? The band said they thought it 
would be warm walking, and so were permitted to go on the 
cars, while every other band in college discoursed most elo¬ 
quently. Beard, Carter and Beadleston hired an express wagon 
and rode in with the colors,—and the Class melted away. 

By some accident they were rallied at the New Haven House 
corner, and the band, being almost rested, was persuaded to 
give us a tune, and even, wonder of wonders, to march in the 
procession around the University. 

The Class supper followed and lasted until a late hour. A 
very high class line of speeches had been arranged, but, as the 
evening wore on, it was evident that some classmates’ minds 
inclined to deeds rather than words, and the intellectual efforts 
of a very “classy” line of orators was somewhat rudely inter¬ 
rupted. Of course every decent man in the Class resented the 
inhuman conduct of these rowdies. 

A broader field for the Class activities being considered 
desirable, and even advisable, by the leaders of thought, we 
marched to the Campus and took up a commanding position, 
with headquarters established at the electric light pole in front 
of Durfee. Here joy was unconfined, and merry May day 
dances were performed with a dash truly Elizabethan. 

Suddenly a feu de joie of fireworks, the blare of trumpets 
and the appearance of several hundred sailor boys in white with 
blue trimmings, announced the arrival of ’98 at the other end 
of the Campus. Headed by the band, we marched to greet them. 
Touched to the heart by this delicate compliment from their 
elders and betters, our young friends lined up against the elms 
on either side of the Campus and, cheering heartily, exploded 
fireworks, their band helping to swell the merry uproar. Then 
in uncontrollable enthusiasm, as we countermarched, ’98 broke 
into two and danced in and out through our lines until Durfee 
was reached, everyone burning red lights and shooting Roman 
candles until the air was useless for breathing. It was indeed 
a glowing tribute. 

As on all great public occasions, it was the custom to release 


SEXENNIAL REUNION. 


13 


some one or something, the Committee released the band an 
hour ahead of time, but promptly made good the loss by stealing 
the band from ’95 S. 

The shouting and the tumult ceased, the paraders dispersed 
and sleep enfolded the University of Yale. 

Wednesday was a day for general amusement, with the alumni 
banquet following the graduation of 1901. In the afternoon a 
member of the Class purchased a goat and got pretty tired of 
it in a short time. A citizen wishing to buy it for his children, 
our friend insisted on giving it to him, announcing that he was 
president of the Goats’ Friendly Association and would always 
help a goat to a good home. 

Trips to Savin Rock, Cheshire and other points of interest 
filled the day with pleasant memories for the future, and on 
Thursday the reunion ended with the New London boat race, 
where Yale beat Harvard in one of the best contests ever seen. 

Back went the men of ’95 to their manifold vocations, cheered 
by the contact with old and well loved scenes, gladdened by the 
sight of once familiar faces, wearied in body, but refreshed in 
soul, by the Sexennial Reunion of Yale 1895.

OUR REUNIONS IN NEW YORK. 


It may be proper, and a measure of self-defense, for the writer 
to say at the outset that when Ben Spock asked him to write a 
sketch of our reunions in New York for our belated Sexennial 
Record, he served notice upon our Secretary, with whom we 
all commiserate, that in responding to the appeal he would not 
necessarily be flattering in his account. However, his sole aim 
is to be absolutely fair and just, and, Munyon-like, to chronicle 
nothing but—“The Truth.” 

These ’95 reunions, with a single exception, have taken form 
in dinners at the Yale Club. The exception referred to was a 
certain “smoker” which, fairly well attended, was sufficiently 
genial and successful until the “fireworks” began, and some 
carelessness was displayed in passing beer steins about the place 
at a velocity and in a direction such as to endanger the beauty 
of some of our more handsome exponents. But this, of course, 
was but an immaterial break in the relations of close harmony 
and good fellowship. The first dinner had its inception as 
follows: 

In 1898, McKee brothers of ’95 and ’96, respectively, were 
living at the first Yale Club, then in its infancy, having, like 
many others, migrated to New York as affording a broader and 
more remunerative field for their talents and capabilities. There 
was at this time a beginning of sentiment for class dinners, and 
this rallying place for the Yale homeless, with its private rooms 
on the second floor, afforded a first-rate means for the realiza¬ 
tion of this sentiment. Being, therefore, in a peculiarly good 
position to do so, the brothers aforesaid decided to take a chance 
shot and assume the responsibility of getting up dinners for 
their respective classes. It didn't involve much work, for that 
matter; simply meant obtaining the names and addresses of the 
then about sixty odd ’95 men in New York and its vicinity 
(including New Haven) ; sending out return postals, and arrang¬ 
ing with the Club’s steward for a good feed costing only $2.00 
per head, inclusive of beer, vin ordinaire, cigars and cigarettes,— 
in short, that tax has “covered everything.” Those who desired 
to draw otherwise on the bar have been at liberty to do so, of 
course, and at their individual expense. 


REUNIONS IN NEW YORK.

Well, about forty men showed up at our first dinner March 
12th, 1898, and it was a success all right—went off with snap 
and enthusiasm, but without bang or any lightning exchanges of 
steins. In fact, there was such enthusiasm among certain mem¬ 
bers of the Class that another dinner, later in the spring, was 
called for; but it was thought best not to surfeit the New York 
members with too much joy and fellowship all at once, but 
rather to dribble it along more conservatively and at longer 
intervals. At this initial reunion it was unanimously voted to 
have an annual dinner, and, McKee, calling for assistance, was 
authorized to reappoint himself and name others, who, with him, 
should constitute a standing committee on New York Class 
Reunions. This committee became, and now is, Baldwin, 
Wardwell, Beadleston, McKee. The second dinner in March, 
’99, was likewise a success, snappy and spontaneous. He who 
attended those functions cannot fail to recall the overbubbling 
enthusiasm of one Parmelee, the would-be promoter of class 
dinners ad infinitum , who, having passed without collapse the 
oyster course, was wont to rise and vote himself a treasury, if 
necessary, for our annual modest repasts. And everybody was 
so good natured that a roar of laughter greeted Schermerhorn’s 
imitations of “Andy” Phillips, where we were instructed to “take 
a pint and drop a line!” We had the piano with us, hard by 
the keg of beer. And ’95 didn’t need to draw upon outside 
musical talent or entertainers to delight itself; for didn’t we 
have with us Witherspoon—“Withy”—and he can sing—and 
nobody knows it better than Withy himself! In fact, nearly 
everybody had something to say or sing for himself. They were 
happy times. And these were the days before Copp, who, 
flaxen-haired, was then fighting for his country in the distant 
Philippines. 

Later, and at succeeding dinners, although the tax remained 
the same, and the good dinners just as good, there seemed to 
come an inexplicable frost to kill our praiseworthy enthusiasm. 
Our esprit de corps began to tend to be rather an esprit de 
corpse. And this was in spite of the presence of “Laurie” Lee, 
who, then back among us, became our toastmaster and principal 
jollifier; for Laurie, as we know, besides being an Ai fellow 
is a pretty clever boy, and his “Patty-Cake” and other recitations 
are almost in themselves sufficient to make an entertainment 
truly a “go.”

REUNIONS IN NEW YORK. 


The committee met and deliberated upon the state of the 
union,—or disunion. What ailed our representatives in the 
metropolis that we should be obliged to persuade them into 
attending these wholesome reunions, though, to be sure, there 
are always a number, who, by reason of the necessities of their 
lives, seeing very little of their classmates, regard these dinners 
as an opportunity and a pleasure. It must be that we in New 
York are a peculiar sort of Yale mixture. 

Meanwhile, however, the ’96 dinners were booming, and the 
Madison Square Garden was considered by the promoters of 
that class as the only adequate place to accommodate their joyful, 
enthusiastic souls. And as they are such a very modest lot of 
boys we knew just exactly how they felt. They were getting 
up fancy menus, inviting the Faculty to attend their functions, 
and the post-prandial exercises were said by them to be not only 
most entertaining, but replete with a delightful species of wit 
and the quintessence of rare good fellowship. How lovely! 
But all this didn’t seriously upset us, for we ourselves modestly 
know that as a class they are an awful soft lot, who simply love 
one another, whereas, we of the Class of ’95 are happily lacking 
in such maudlin qualities, and are rather a collection of indi¬ 
vidual pillars of character and strength. No nonsense about us! 
There is a good deal of truth in this; but it is suggested that we 
might continue to be just as fine and manly and, at the same 
time, “back up” more frequently and with fewer gaps in the 
ranks. It is perfectly proper to record here the truth—that, 
though a little undemonstrative, we are the best class that 
Mother Yale ever had. 

Our committee met and deliberated, for it was not inclined 
to abandon the struggle while there was a gleam of hope—a 
ghost of chance of success. It made severally and respectively 
a self-introspective examination as to its personnel and intelli¬ 
gence, and returned a verdict of “Not Guilty.” If you can’t 
make fellows jolly up when their stomachs are in appreciative 
humor and there is beer and Scotch at hand galore (we came 
to the latter), When and How Can You Do it? 

We decided to make a final and test stand in our initial dinner 
in 1902 at the new Yale Club, which is especially well adapted 
to such purposes. Between the sparse enthusiastic volunteers, 
the duty-bounds (noble species), and the persuaded and driven,

we corralled about thirty of our band for this Spartan occasion. 
I don’t think that Billy Copp was entirely to blame. The din¬ 
ner as a whole was quietly respectable, but there was manifest a 
note of solemnity which strongly suggested that we of the com¬ 
mittee were in fact funeral directors and that “the paths of 
glory lead but to the grave.” Lieutenant William Maltby Copp, 
recently returned from glory, did his best, or his worst. First 
of all Billy was the military man—every inch a soldier—and he 
was even more expansive (mirabile dictu ) as to his brave chest 
than before he set forth to add luster to the flag. Hating to 
talk about himself, he knew, nevertheless, that we were dying 
to hear first hand the facts in the far East, and Billy nobly con¬ 
quered his modesty. And to show his versatility, this Grecian¬ 
headed warrior sang and hollered for us “Lamb, Lamb, Lamb,” 
“My Honolulu Baby,” Filipino folk songs, and, above all, his 
devotion to “Beer, Beer, Glorious Beer.” Some members looked 
panied, but, then, one has to be a broad-gauged man to under¬ 
stand and appreciate a fellow like Copp. 

The Committee on Steering have decided that, so far as they 
are concerned, the annual dinner shall go by default for 1903. 
By 1904, who knows but that there may have been such a revival 
of the spirit as to make New York reunions an assured success 
and a joy forever! Let us hope so. 

Respectfully submitted, 


New York, April, 1903.

bathing with his eight-year-old nephew, the child was placed by 
his father on a raft which was supposed to be securely anchored, 
but it was not and floated off towards the lake. His uncle 
attempted to swim in with him, but was seized with a cramp or 
an attack of dizziness, and before his brother James, who was 
also in the water, could reach them, both uncle and nephew had 
gone down for the last time. Mr. Hobart’s age was 26 years.
